We spend all our time in our family room. And when we entertain, the guests are always in our kitchen! Our last house in California had a great room, and I loved it. Just one big room of kitchen, dining and couches. That's all I need.<BR/><BR/>Your projects turned out great. Very inspiring.<BR/><BR/>~HeatherMrs. Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426014717122756690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741405387478286535.post-13087250606481966492008-02-19T12:21:00.000-05:002008-02-19T12:21:00.000-05:00your bookcases look great! i found you from the ne...your bookcases look great! i found you from the nester. <BR/><BR/>as for living rooms, i love mine. it is a totally me room with a pink couch and pink velvet chair, book cases, pretty shabby chic rug- and no toys:) i dont use it as often as i should, but we read there and drink coffee, and i love using it when friends visit.<BR/>also, i agree SS is on its way out. my mom just renovated her kitchen with a fabulous brushed copper fridge, oven, and dish washer. and a copper sink. it looks amazing and much better then my ALWAYS fingerprinted fridge.anya*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05893949058312926128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741405387478286535.post-11513628452217368212008-02-18T16:22:00.000-05:002008-02-18T16:22:00.000-05:00I love the toile!

I pictured ours as a rather quiet place that I could sit and read, then we put the computer in there, and now it's action central! Still, it's nice to have a place that's (usually!) cleaner than my family room to usher people. I also hadn't heard anything about stainless steel appliances going "out"--but boy! they should. What a pain keeping fingerprints off those things. I spied some copper appliances that were to die for, but I bet you'd have the same problem!Jennifer P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03907178224086726030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741405387478286535.post-65481686230304913312008-02-13T21:09:00.000-05:002008-02-13T21:09:00.000-05:00Hey Tracey~I hopped on over here from paperjunc wh...Hey Tracey~I hopped on over here from paperjunc when I saw you had a post about toile. I just finished a similar post (I also mentioned the nester! Boy she is getting so popular!) Anyway, in my never ending deliberation of whether or not to toile my living room, which by the way, I am renaming "the library," because like you, all we do is hang out in there with our books, newspaper, bible study and coffee...and...listen to the piano. At any rate, your toile looks fabulous! Glad I discovered your blog...I'm off to add you to my blogroll. :)Runner Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637580235545152641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741405387478286535.post-60491439801843402982008-02-13T18:05:00.000-05:002008-02-13T18:05:00.000-05:00I saw that about living rooms.

I am going to enjoy reading this, it will be my first nonpolitical blog.<BR/>We have a living room that we rarely use. We thought about making the living and family rooms into a great room, then I started to look at furniture placement, it just wasn't going to work. But we still wanted it to feel more open and to get some light back into the family room. Mr. Bill put his wonderful brain and his sawsall to work, cut the walls down to half walls, created posts, put an oak cap on the halfwall. We still have a living room, family room, dining room but it all looks open, light and airy when you come in the front door. You can also see straight into the kitchen which means I have to keep it clean.<BR/>Oops, I'm rattling.<BR/>Hugs!!MsKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11328247875087435227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741405387478286535.post-78095397705562489112008-02-06T19:39:00.000-05:002008-02-06T19:39:00.000-05:00Hi, Tracey!

I used the black and white Waverly toile for my family room and kitchen.<BR/><BR/>We turned our living room into a study for my husband by adding french doors and closing it off. I have to say we use it much more that way--and we don't have to worry about it being a mess. When company comes, we just close the doors!<BR/><BR/>-Julia K :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741405387478286535.post-38977848372086360932008-02-05T15:16:00.000-05:002008-02-05T15:16:00.000-05:00I thought I had left a comment here yesterday, I a...I thought I had left a comment here yesterday, I am going insane.
